Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent sheets from interfering with each other and being buckled and to heighten the aligning effect for sheets by providing a storing portion for sheets with aligning means which is adapted to work upon both side edges of sheets received and stored in receiving and storing means to bring the sheet to the center. CONSTITUTION:An impeller 24 serving as means for receiving and storing sheets B comprises a plurality of blades 25 disposed on the periphery thereof. A shaft 26 of the impeller is rotated by a motor 27 through a belt 28. when the impeller 24 is rotated, the sheets B transported by a belt 22 and a roller 23 are fed into between the blades 25. After that, the sheets B are brought into contact with a stopper 29 and separated from between the blades 25 to be accumulated on a storing portion 30. In this arrangement, guides 31 are rotatably provided bisymmetrically on side plates 30b of the storing portion 30, and driven by a solenoid 36 or the like through a link 33. The skewed sheet B2 is pushed to the center from both sides to achieve an expected object.
